"So that's it..."

Su Xuqing's expression relaxed a lot, and then she realized her mistake.

"Then my husband, please apologize to Pavilion Master Liang on my behalf. I am forcing you to do something."

Seeing that Su Xuqing was so sensible, Shen Xuanheng felt relieved. Otherwise, if Su Xuqing continued to help Sun Youwei in the future, it would be a real headache.

"Don't worry, ma'am. Your husband will definitely convey this message."

At the fork in the road leading to the fourth room and the front yard, Shen Xuanheng stopped and said gently, "Then I'll go out first."

"Yeah, come back early."

Su Xuqing has curved eyebrows and is gentle and lovely.

Shen Xuanheng's eyes quickly swept around, and seeing that there was no one around, he quickly kissed Su Xuqing on the face, then ran away.

Su Xuqing looked around guiltily, and only breathed a sigh of relief when no servants saw her.

"This guy is always thinking about how to take advantage of others."

Su Xuqing looked at his back, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and stamped her feet lightly.

Today is the day when Tianyi Pavilion delivers clothes, so Su Xuqing does not plan to go out. She will wait at home for the people from Tianyi Pavilion to deliver the clothes. Then she will try the clothes to see if they fit. If they do not fit, she will ask the people from Tianyi Pavilion to make some modifications on the spot.

Before returning to the yard, Su Xuqing saw Yinhuan running towards her with a bitter face.

"Ma'am, it's bad. Taozi hit someone."

"Ok?"

Su Xuqing frowned and asked, "Did she beat that maid?"

Su Xuqing was not surprised by what happened to Lady Xue Tao, because the maids in the different rooms of the mansion often had quarrels. For example, Yinhuan had always suffered losses and been bullied before, but this girl was soft-hearted and endured the grievances.

But Xue Tao was different. She was someone who dared to throw stones at the Duke. Given her personality, Su Xuqing was not surprised at all when she fought with the maids.

"no no."

Yinhuan waved her hands quickly and said, "She beat up the Second Madam?"

"what?"

Su Xuqing was shocked. Is Xue Tao so brave? She even dares to beat Li? I have never beaten her!

"Where is she? Lead the way."

"This way, this way."

Yinhuan hurriedly led the way and soon brought Su Xuqing to the laundry room.

The situation in the laundry room was extremely tense at the moment. Not only were there two layers of guards surrounding the room outside, but Xue Tao inside was also confronting Li like a little wolf cub.

"You are such a slut, you are so bold that you dared to tear my clothes! And you even dared to hit me!"

One side of Li's face turned red and swollen. She pointed at Xue Tao and screamed loudly, so angry that smoke seemed to come out of her head.

Xue Tao was not to be outdone, she raised her chin and said, "The maids from your second room took advantage of the situation and wanted to cut in line to wash clothes even though they came later. When I refused, they started beating me up!"

"fart!"

Li spitted, "Xing'er told me that it was you who forced your way into the queue, and when she refused, you tore this lady's clothes to pieces!"

"You are talking nonsense! You are being played around by your own little maid, and you don't even know it. You are as stupid as a pig or a dog."

"Bitch, you dare to scold me! Come here! Capture her and beat her to death!"

Xue Tao took a few steps back, her eyes cold. With her limited martial arts skills, she might not be able to defeat so many guards, but she could escape if she wanted to.

But once she leaves the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, the Ministry of Justice will be eyeing her covetously. And to be fair, she still likes to be with Su Xuqing.

The guards pressed forward step by step, and Xue Tao felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"stop!"

Su Xuqing arrived in time, and Yinhuan quickly pushed aside the guards and squeezed out a way.

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, and the second sister-in-law wants to beat and kill the servants. Isn't that a bit too overbearing?"

Su Xuqing walked slowly to Xue Tao and looked at Li with a dim gaze.

Li's face turned cold and she sneered, "I was wondering which maid from which room was so bold and presumptuous. It turns out she is from your fourth room. Like master, like servant!"

"you!"

Xue Tao was furious. This matter had nothing to do with Su Xuqing. Li was making insinuations and she couldn't tolerate that!

Su Xuqing glanced to the side and glared at Xue Tao, "I'm here, you have no right to speak."

Xue Tao felt a little chilled when she saw this. She cleared her throat, lowered her head and stood aside.

Yes, even if the ladies of these wealthy families treat their servants well on weekdays, there are still differences in status. If something really happens, I don’t know how they will deal with me.

Su Xuqing raised her eyes and looked at Li, and said slowly: "Li, I know the maids in my yard well. Although Xue Tao is a bit wild, she is not enough to cause trouble. You don't have to point fingers at others and tell them right and wrong. Why don't you call your maids over and let's have a confrontation."

Li sneered and waved.

"Xing'er, come here."

When the girl named Xing'er saw Su Xuqing coming, she suddenly looked a little panicked, but things had come to this point, so she had no choice but to come over.

Su Xuqing looked at Xing'er and said in a deep voice, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Xing'er lowered her head and said timidly, "Princess, I went to the laundry room to wash clothes early this morning. Maybe there were too many clothes, so I took up the washboard and the wooden basin for too long, so your maid couldn't wait and wanted to cut in line. I refused, so she grabbed the clothes I was washing, and then pulled and ripped them."

Xing'er wiped away two tears as she spoke, then took the clothes out of the basin and showed them to Su Xuqing. The light purple dress was indeed torn at the back of the waist.

Li snorted coldly and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Xue Tao gritted her teeth when she heard that and wanted to argue, but when she thought about how Su Xuqing had glared at her just now, she became so angry that she didn't want to speak.

Su Xuqing looked at the hole in her clothes and sneered as well.

"I trust my maid and didn't tear your clothes."

Xue Tao was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Xuqing. She thought that Su Xuqing would not care about such trivial matters between servants and would definitely hand herself over to be punished and then be done with it.

But she believed in herself so much...

Li's face turned cold, "Su Xuqing, the evidence is irrefutable, and you are still protecting that slave girl. Aren't you taking the rules of the mansion too seriously?"

Su Xuqing walked up to Xing'er, reached out and pinched the clothes, then put her fingers to the tip of her nose and smelled it.

"Second sister-in-law, your maid said she arrived first to wash clothes, and it was my maid who cut in line later, right?"

"nonsense."

Su Xuqing sneered, looked at Xing'er and said, "Since your maid washed the clothes first, why is it that this dress is only wet, but does not smell like soapberry, but smells like fish?"

"fishy smell?"

Li was stunned for a moment, then walked over and smelled it, and there was indeed a fishy smell.

"Xing'er! What's going on?"

Xing Er was timid and said quickly, "Madam, I was on my way home when I passed by the goldfish pond and accidentally fell, so my clothes fell into the goldfish pond."

"A bunch of nonsense."

Su Xuqing interrupted with a cold voice and said slowly, "I see that you tried to cut in line but got beaten again, so you got so angry that you wet your clothes in the goldfish pond, and then tore a hole in it and went back to complain!"
